Pieces of Sunshine…

For Spring, I’m obsessed with anything striped, yellow, or navy blue.  (or a combination of the three.)  Yellow is such a happy color.  Below, some of my favorite “pieces of sunshine.” 1.  J.Crew Featherweight Cotton Cardigan2.  Kara Janx Ruffle Dress3.  Pour la Victoire Jillana Gillettes4.  Tibi Dress5.  Old Navy Hoodie Oh yellow… you just make me so happy!!

Jewelry Obsession: J.Crew’s Stained Glass Drop Earrings in Metallic Blush

If you read this blog regularly, then you know I’m obsessed with J.Crew.  And this past year, I’ve become especially obsessed with their jewelry collection.  Beautiful, unique, one of a kind pieces that have a tiny bit of a “raiding Grandma’s jewelry closet” feel to them, while still looking fresh.  (Jenna Lyons, you are a genius!) I stumbled across these earrings today and was instantly smitten.  Perfect to wear with all of Spring’s glorious blush/nude tones.

Victoria’s Secret has Great Clothes (I Swear.)

Let me begin this post by saying that I like to shop, and I don’t discriminate.  I like mixing “high and low” and count Old Navy, Target, and Forever 21 amongst my favorite places to shop.  But I can, admittedly, be a bit of a snob.  For example, up until recently, I would never have bought clothes at Victoria’s Secret.  Too trashy, I rationalized.  Good for bathing suits, but that’s about it.
